Last week, we announced a contest to send one lucky node.js hacker to NodeConf 2013. We had a bunch of amazing entries, but the hack that stood out as the most useful and innovative use of the API was SMSFoo, by Jed Wood(pictured right).

About The Hack

Wufoo is an online form builder which makes it incredibly easy to build and distribute web forms. SMSFoo SMS-enables forms you’ve built in Wufoo, so you can distribute them and collect responses via SMS. This enables you to use Wufoo forms to collect information from users without internet access, or on any mobile device. Very cool stuff.
